Social foraging: from mechanism to consequence
Chairs: Lysanne Snijders (University of Wageningen) and Ralf Kurvers (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin)
Individuals living in groups are often more successful at gaining food than isolated individuals. In this symposium, we explore the mechanisms allowing this phenomenon and the consequences for the evolution of social associations.
